LXD: Imported container doesn't start - Problem with ACLs

I am just trying to launch a container, which was created on an other machine. I've done this the following way:

$ lxc snapshot container_name snapshot_name
$ lxc publish container_name/snapshot_name --alias image_name
$ lxc image export image_name

Copied the image to the other host with scp, then:

$ lxc image import dd2fd708361...a125d0d5885.tar.gz --alias image_name
$ lxc launch image_name container_name

Unfortunately, launching the container fails with:

Failed to change ACLs on /var/lib/lxd/storage-pools/default/containers/$CONTAINERNAME/rootfs/var/lib/samba/sysvol

The container ran in privileged mode, it is running Samba and Bind.

Can somebody please assist?
